@luke_onahorse: The biggest antelope in the world… and somehow still built like an athlete. The eland may stand lower at the shoulder than a moose, but a big bull can be heavier—making it the heaviest antelope on Earth. And here’s the crazy part… Despite their size, eland can jump up to three metres high from a standstill. So when people build a normal wildlife fence and think, “That should hold them,” the eland often has other plans. They’re also incredibly strong, meaning if they don’t jump the fence, they can still do serious damage by pushing through it. Older bulls also develop that beautiful blue-grey colour, which comes as they lose hair with age and their skin starts showing through more. Basically, an eland is what happens when nature builds a cow, a springbok, and a bulldozer into one animal. #Eland #AfricanWildlife #WildlifeFacts #SafariLife #natureexplained
